Utah State Fair

Are these about the coolest animals in the world. I think they are fascinating. We went to the State Fair a week or so ago with Grandma Gaye. Eli was loving all the animals and he was so fascinated with this show. It was called the Kachunga Alligator Show and it was very entertaining.


This was the brothers that were the trainers of this fine animal. He did some of the craziest things with this little guy. He wrestles him and carried him around and held his mouth shut with his chin. He was crazy.

A very cute picture of Eli and Grandma Gaye

After the show they gave people the opportunity to take a picture with a baby alligator. I wasn't so sure how that was going to go over because Lara is a wimp and Eli is really brave until he actually gets to close to something then he usually freaks out. But not this time. Both of them were so excited to get to hold an alligator. Eli thought it was about the coolest thing ever and I don't think he was scared at all. I know in the picture it looks like he is, but I don't really think he was. I think Grandma just caught a funny face of him.

Notice the great big owl that is in the upper right hand corner of this picture. I have never seen an owl this close. they are beautiful animals. We got the opportunity to take a picture with one, and I was all over that, but because of that poster in the background, it makes it kind of hard to see the owl very well.
